Improved protection

The cable is connected directly to the transducer to achieve the high IP68 degree of protection; this contrasts with other models that utilise a bayonet-type plug.

The transducers are based on strain gauge technology and are suitable for measuring both static and dynamic forces. HBM’s range of U10 force transducers has a characteristic sturdy, flat measuring body and features individual bending moment alignment.

The latest transducers are suitable for a range of applications such as in test benches set up in climatic chambers. The transducers are also suited to other applications with tough ambient conditions or outdoors.

All U10 transducers – from a nominal (rated) load of 12.5kN – are now available with the IP68 design.
